Early college football DFS picks October 31: Breece yourself

We have a loaded college football DFS slate for our early Saturday. There are 14 games going on. Actually, I applaud that DraftKings keeps adding games. One or more games on these slates have been lost to COVID in each of the last four weeks.

This week is no different. Wisconsin decided that they can’t play Nebraska on their fourth string QB, so the game was called off. That’s okay. There are still plenty of good running back options out there. Let’s check the slate.

Georgia takes on the tough Kentucky defense. Big brother is going to smack little brother that just got beaten up by Rutgers last week. The pride of the Little Apple goes to mountain country as a road dog yet again. Boston College gets to take their shot at Clemson.

Then we get to the big horsepower offenses. Iowa State has more trouble in intrasquad scrimmages than they’ll have with Kansas. Memphis and Cincinnati has a high implied total and a low spread. The battle of the paper Tigers defenses between Auburn an LSU promises to be entertaining to kick off the afternoon.

The Irish get to beat up on Georgia Tech. TCU and Baylor face in the battle of Big 12 teams that act like Big Ten teams. Indiana and Rutgers both scored huge upsets last week. Ole Miss gets to take out their frustrations on Vandy. We have Virginia Tech and Louisville in the battle of Jekyll and Hyde teams.

Cap that off with an immensely talented Oklahoma State offense that has had Texas’s number, and we have a lot of early afternoon entertainment on DraftKings.

I had too much Jaylen Waddle in the early slate to get much of my investment back. You can’t do much about those things. I was also heavy on Asim Rose and NC State value. That didn’t work so well.

It was all made back in the night slate with South Alabama and Cincinnati stacks. Let’s make some more here for the weekend.

As with last week’s two game slate during the week, expect the cash line to be in the 150’s. There are limited options with only four teams in action.

The scoring for DraftKings college football is much the same as it is for the NFL with one notable exception: the super flex! That means aside from the flex position which is RB/WR, you can add another player from any position! Want four running backs? Go right ahead! Five wide receivers? Sure! Two quarterbacks? Of course! Just stay under the salary cap!

The super flex replaces the defense, which is essential in college football. This is all about the offense. College football DFS scoring realizes that!
